Self-guided trekking experience in Rila Mountains and Mt Mousala from Sofia
Do this because
- Trek up the highest peak in the Rila mountains
- See panoramic views at the summit
- Take a chair lift to Yastrebets hut (2370 m)
What to expect
Mousala is the highest peak (at 2925 m) not only in Rila Mountains, but on the whole Balkan Peninsula. Join this trekking experience and lose yourself in breathtaking views.
Your morning starts early with a drive to Borovets ski resort (it takes about 1 hour 15 min), where you will take the cabin lift to Yastrebets hut (2370 m). This is the starting point of your trek to the peak (+600 m). You will walk along well-trodden paths, but a rocky ground.
The view from the top is really splendid so you can spend a short time admiring the views before taking the lift back.
